Well hello there! It has been too long. Waaaaaaaaay toooooooo long. After several months of people asking me when I was going to start blogging again, the dreaded weekly blog stat emails {that I couldn't bear to open because I felt awful knowing that even a single person was logging on only to see the same annoying post staring back at them} and a little too much caffeine today, here I am. At 2am on a Wednesday. After logging onto the blog for the first time in nearly a year, I was instantly reminded of why I started it in the first place. Time moves much too quickly and the time I have with my girls is SO fleeting. Heartbreakingly fleeting. It is beyond precious for me to look back at the little every day-isms and phases & stages of their lives that always pass before I'm ready {ok, not ALWAYS before I'm ready...truth be told, some phases should end before they even start like 5am wake up habits} and to be reminded of the little things that I would've otherwise forgotten. So I'm back to document our ordinary life and my attempts to see the beauty in it all. Because any way you look at it, there's no denying it: life is a gift and IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

xoxo,

p.s. It's birthday season around here! For the first time, M & C will be celebrating separately which means back to back bashes and twice the obsessing for me over the next two months. I am so excited about each of their themes....I can't decide which one I love more! Can't wait to post my finding as they come....many stolen {thanks Pinterest}, some original.....and all making me way more excited than they should ;-)

"May The Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious." Numbers 6:24
